Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When your spine is crackin', and your hands, they shake
Heart is bursting, and your butt's gon' break
Woman's cussin', you can hear her scream
Feel like murder in the first degree
[Chorus]
Ain't nobody slowin' down, no way
Everybody's steppin' on their accelerator
Don't matter where you are
Everybody's gonna need a ventilator, hey
[Verse 2]
When you're trapped and circled, with no second chances
Code of livin' is your gun in hand
We can't be browed by beatin', can't be cowed by words
Messed by cheatin', ain't gon' ever learn
[Chorus]
Everybody walkin' 'round
Everybody tryin' to step on their Creator
No matter where you are
Everybody, everybody's gonna need some kind of ventilator
Some kind of ventilator
Come down and get it
[Bridge]
What you gon' do about it?
What you gonna do?
What you gon' do about it?
What you gonna do?
[Outro]
Gonna fight it, gonna fight it
Gonna fight it, gonna fight it
Gonna fight it, gonna fight it
Gonna fight it, gonna fight it
Gonna fight it, gonna fight it
Gonna fight it, gonna fight it
Gonna fight it, gonna fight it
